So after doing a bit of reading (thanks search function!) it is fairly obvious that the Xanavi unit in the GT-T is more or less uselss as a GPS, but can be used to pump out DVD's/TV if the unit is still functional.

I was just curious as to what other people have managed to achieve with the screen. I am sure that the combination of time + loads of cash = whatever the hell you want but I wanted to know what people have done to get different functionality out of the unit so I can start to suss out my options.

From what I have read it seems like the main options are:

- Ripping the whole thing out and sticking a triple gauge cluster in.

- Hooking a converter or after market DVD system up in the boot to at least get video options.

- I have seen a couple of fancy pants in car computer setups as well.

What else has been done? Has anyone successfully managed to get GPS up and running using a system such as this.

I love the idea of having the in dash Nav/DVD as an option but if it is too much hassle to get up and running then I might just go with the triple gauge as a replacement instead.

yep that can be done. buy the garmin unit and from there do one of two things. replace the screen with a 7" motorised drop in. (I have a few of these) then punch that navi through it and route the audio via the drivers door. the screens I use are a 3 input item and you can punch a camera into them as well. OR hack the stock system. its easier to start fresh with the stock system removed and the correct ac controller in place..

To get that all changed over (stock system removed, new AC controller etc) that would also require the double DIN face plate, new brackets and something to stick into said DIN slots (as well as the new AC facia.) The AC unit it's self is the same for both positions, just with the different facia and brackets to hold it all in correct?

At least getting all new face plates would save me the trouble of repainting them all :P The car I'm taking ownership of in a couple of days is showing signs of peeling/scratches on a lot of the plastics. Got to love the shitty pain on the R34's...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
